I tested with Fuse and it loaded fine. Which emulator are you using?

It's not an emulator I normally use, but I downloaded version 5.9 and had the same issue as you reported. Assume it's an emulator issue as Fuse and Inkspector work fine.

I don't know which of these fixed it, but I turned off fast loading, disabled the ZX Printer, and turned off the additional hardware options and it loads just fine:

Z and X help selecting the type of Lemming.

Is this a MOD of the original one? Was there a level editor?

Okay seems to use similar/same keys as original Lemmings game:

Playing Area:
L - Scroll Level Left
ENTER - Scroll Level Right

Move Cursor (or use Joystick for QAOP&M):
Q - Move Cursor Up
A - Move Cursor Down
O - Move Cursor Left
P - Move Cursor Right
M - Clicks on Lemming (to give them skill type)
N - Locks on to a Lemming

Select Icon on Panel (or use numbers 1-0 for position 1-10 on panel):
Z - Scroll Left along Icon Panel
X - Scroll Right along Icon Panel

Miscellaneous:
Caps/Symbol Shift (together)?? - Nuke Level
Space - Pause Game

Numbers 1 - 0 - Highlights first 10 icons on Panel

Icons (from left to right):
---------------------------
1 *Decrease the flow of Lemmings on the level
2 *Increase the flow of Lemmings on the level

The following are skills you can give to Lemmings
3 Climber - climbs vertical surfaces
4 Floater - A brolly (umbrella) opens to ensure a safe descent
5 Bomb to dispatch single Lemmings (one way to get rid of Blockers)
6 Blocker - stands with arms outstretched to block the passage of fellow Lemmings
7 Bridge Builder - builds bridges, each builder has only twelve building bricks. When a Builder had laid his twelfth brick he turns to look at you for an instant ... if you click on him again, he will lay another twelve bricks (if you have any Builders remaining) and so on until you run out of Builders. If you don't click on him after he lays his twelfth brick he becomes a Walker again.
8 Basher - digs horizontally, will only dig when a suitable surface is directly ahead of him
9 Minter - uses a pick to dig diagonally down
10 Digger - burrows vertically
11 *Pause - gives you time to think
12 Nuke 'Em destroys all Lemmings - should you find yourself in a 'no-win' situation (double click to activate)

Hi there !
I am Ionut Ghionea, one of the two creators of this game. Thank you for your interest in our work, please ask me anything about this game.
We made the in the mid of 90s while we were in high school. Adrian Chivu is now a great programmer, I am professor at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania, involved in CAD teaching.
This is, indeed, a MOD of the original game, we found a way to break the program and to change its levels. As I remember, we made a level editor for it, but I don't know if I still have it. Anyway, it was a lot of fun modding the original Lemmings almost 30 years ago :|
